I think I’ll head over to the doctor tomorrow. Just to give you an idea... I was lifting some heavy concrete blocks today, and now my wrists and knuckles are acting up. Then yesterday, I went out for a run, and my knees started killing me. Basically, whenever there's any kind of real physical strain, my tendons and joints just start throbbing...
So, I finished my round of antibiotics and polished off about two boxes of Zithromax (roughly 60 pills over a two-week stretch). It’s been two weeks since I wrapped up the treatment.
Honestly, nothing has changed. Not a single thing.
I finally got my nasal swab results back today.
Everything came back totally clear.
Maybe we need to look at some other ideas?
Hey there!
I’m looking for some advice regarding this condition I'm dealing with.
For the last three months, my joints have been absolutely killing me.
Specifically, it’s my knees, elbows, shoulders, spine, hands, and occasionally my fingers.
I feel a dull ache constantly, mostly in my hand joints and my cervical spine, but after any kind of physical exertion—like running or whatever—the pain flares up. It sometimes gets so bad it feels like a full-on cramp.
I get this feeling like something is wrong with my tendons and that my joints are just weak.
I’m 30 years old, and this whole thing started about three or four months ago.
I’ve been active in sports for 15 years and I’ve seriously never dealt with anything like this before.
Basically, every joint hurts. On top of that, I went in to get tested for hepatitis, chlamydia, and a bunch of other stuff, but luckily everything came back negative.
My ASL (if I remember correctly) is elevated, though my WR and RF levels are normal. My CBC looks fine.
We thought maybe it was strep, but they couldn't find anything in my throat...
